GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

“I started down a ‘dress armour’ route for Iraxxa,” says Gary Pollard. “There was an initial confusion about gold armour, which was quite funny…”

Kate takes up the story: “There’s the gold sort of sarcophagus, the gold version of Iraxxa. In the script, it says ‘sculpted gold Ice Warrior’, then no mention of it going green later, so we all assumed she was gold! We were doing tests, running around working out different types of gold colouring, getting all excited, ‘This is amazing and super-bling with jewels and everything…’ And then Mark Gatiss said, ‘No. Clearly she’s going to be green, she’s an Ice Warrior!’ I would say we spent weeks figuring out a good gold for Iraxxa.”
